Wawrzyniak v. Livingstone & Sunnybrook Health

I posted a copy of the Complaint (aka Statement of Claim) in Wawrzyniak v. Livingstone & Sunnybrook Health here.  While the Toronto Star made the medical staff's conduct here seem rather culpable, the allegations in the Complaint go even further.  Yesterday, the Toronto Star printed a number of predictably angry letters.  A few excerpts:

• "My visits to several hospitals in Toronto have taught me that if you are frail and elderly in a hospital, the care will be good, but don’t expect heroics to keep you alive."


• "I remember the American scare tactics about “death committees” ingovernment-funded health care and how amazed I was to hear something so ridiculous. Well now, we don’t even have committees."
